Effects of age on left atrial volume and strain parameters using echocardiography in a normal black population

OBJECTIVE: Normal cut-off values for left atrial (LA) size and function may be altered by aging and ethnic differences. No age-related reference values for LA volumetric measurements or LA strain exist in Africans. We aimed to establish normal age-appropriate values of LA size and function in black...
